Answer:
[tex]y = 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function:
[tex]y=\dfrac{5x}{x+6}[/tex]
[tex]\implies y=5 \left( \dfrac{x}{x+6}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{As }x \rightarrow +\infty, \ \dfrac{x}{x+6} \rightarrow1[/tex]
[tex]\implies y\rightarrow5[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{As }x \rightarrow -\infty, \ \dfrac{x}{x+6} \rightarrow1[/tex]
[tex]\implies y\rightarrow5[/tex]
As [tex]x[/tex] approaches infinity and negative infinity, [tex]y[/tex] approaches 5 (but never gets there). Therefore, the horizontal asymptote is [tex]y=5[/tex]
